Chapter 550 Mobei Three Fighters

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty wanted to meet the Mongolian tribes at the Chisong Summit in Yanbei. The purpose was quite obvious, which was to go to the four tribes of Korqin. But the ultimate goal was to be the Jurchens.

If the Jurchens are immortal for one day, the Han emperor will not be at peace.

How could others sleep soundly beside the bed? Even if the Jurgens took the initiative to move the capital to Harwen, as long as they did not die for a day, the Han Emperor would not relax his vigilance.

Before Babu and the three princes of Mobei came to the south to come to the court, their fathers said almost the same thing to them. This time they came to win the support and protection of the Han Dynasty. In order to avoid the threats of the Moxi and the Jurchens, it doesn't matter if they pay tribute to the Han Dynasty or even offer the tribute to the Jiubai.

If we can find a way to obtain a formal trade permit with the Han Dynasty, it would be better. If the Han people want to attack Korqin and Jurchens, then let them go. On the surface, they can agree to the Han people's requests, and then they will send only three or five thousand troops to the place, which is enough.

None of the three works thought of really working for the great man.

But now, the third prince of Babu is considering that perhaps they had insufficient information before and had inaccurate grasp of the situation. The twenty-four tribes in the south of the Moon have already joined the Han Dynasty, not on the surface, but they are really preparing to send troops to join the Han Dynasty and follow the Han Dynasty to the east.

The Han Dynasty's attention to the three tribes in Mobei was also a big surprise. In addition to the title, there were rewards. More importantly, they easily got the trade trade they wanted, especially the Han people were willing to sell swords, muskets and cannons to them.

If there are swords, guns and cannons sold by the Han people, they will no longer have to be afraid whether they are facing the Junggar tribes in the west of the Moon, the Korqin in the south of the Moon or the Eight Jurchen Banners in the east.

However, these swords, guns and cannons are not so cheap. Although they can only trade with cattle and horses on the surface, there is obviously an additional condition here, that is, they have to participate in this alliance and the Eastern Expedition.

"The twenty-four tribes in the south of the Mo River are willing to join forces, and this eastern expedition will look very smooth." Taiji Chahundorji, the son of Tushetukhan, opposite Babu, played with a sharp dagger. This is also a weapon produced by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. It is extremely sharp and can cut a hundred pieces of paper with one piece of cake. It is like cutting tofu.

"Korqin and the Jurchens took advantage of the situation to rob each other. We will fight blood for blood and teeth for tooth. One prisoner will catch ten silver dollars and grab ten thousand yuan. It will be exchanged for 10,000 yuan. How many tea bricks do you have to exchange for? How many fine knives, swords, and guns and cannons? Anyway, our Chechen Khan tribe will definitely participate with all our efforts. This is a hunting conference." Buba smiled.

"The twenty tribes in the south of the Moon plus the three khans in the north of the Moon, and the Han Empire, our three-party alliance sends troops. What kind of resistance should Ke Xiaoqin take? We will attack Harwen in one breath and capture the little emperor of Juzhen alive and present it to the Han emperor, and will definitely be able to exchange for a large reward."

"Indeed, with so many troops and horse alliances, Korqin will inevitably be destroyed this time. The Jurchens will not escape to the beach." Babu showed an excited expression on his face. "I heard that the Han Emperor had already said that after capturing the four tribes of Korqin, their grassland will be rewarded to the Mongolian tribes at that time. Whoever has more soldiers and more achievements will have the grassland that will be larger. At the same time, they can also get titles and enthronements, and new prefectures and counties will be allowed to be established."

Babu held the two hand guns in his hand and couldn't put them down and gently stroked them.

"This time, our Chechen Khan tribe ordered 10,000 swords, 3,000 muskets, and 100 guns from the Han Dynasty. At that time, we can practice with the Korqin and Jurchens." Babu liked the swords, guns and cannons of the Han people. If it weren't for the fact that it was too expensive, he would have wished to buy 30,000 to 50,000 swords, 10,000 muskets at once.

Unfortunately, things are good, but they are expensive. A fine knives require a horse to exchange for. A fuse gun is worth five knives and a tiger squat cannon. It requires fifty knives. Fortunately, the Han officials have agreed to each musket with one hundred lead bullets, and a tiger squat cannon with one hundred small lead pieces.

"This sword is indeed very sharp, but unfortunately it is too expensive." Tursetuhan's Taiji Chahundorji said. However, facing this rare opportunity, Chahundorji still gritted his teeth and ordered 10,000 swords, 3,000 muskets and 100 cannons, and ordered a lot of ammunition.

No one knows whether there will be such an opportunity in the future. If only the Han people made an exception to sell weapons to deal with the Jurchens and Korqin this time, then there will be no store after missing the village. Usually, the Han people are not allowed to export iron to the north, but now they have finally had the opportunity to buy such excellent swords and sharp guns and cannons, what else can they hesitate?

He had already ordered the ordnance worth 100,000 cows on behalf of Tushetukhan's tribe.

One hundred thousand cows will be a big asset even for the Tushetu Khan tribe, one of the three heroes in Mobei. However, when he thought that after the Tushetu Khan tribe obtained this batch of weapons, his combat effectiveness increased exponentially, and he would not be afraid of the Mongolians in Moxi again, he felt that it was very worth it.

After spending so much money to order this military equipment, you have to find a way to make up for it. The best way is to participate in this alliance expedition, confiscate more tribes and capture more livestock populations to offset the amount.

"It's a pity that the Han people did not have good iron armor for sale." Babu was a little regretful. In the three parts of Mobei, most of the soldiers and horses were cavalry, and most of them were light cavalry. The battle was mainly cavalry, and most of them were leather armor. However, leather armor had weak defenses for bows and arrows. However, in the Mobei area, not only did the armor-making process be backward, but there were not so many iron materials and craftsmen.

They originally hoped to buy some iron armor from the Han people, but the Han Empire had no armor for sale. They did not make iron armor, but only some cotton armor, and not even made many. The Han officials said that it was the emperor and the ** people who did not need iron armor, but Babu and others believed that the Han people refused to sell iron armor.

The Mobei Jinqi, with sharp knights, swords, muskets and cannons, wouldn’t it be unrivaled if it was equipped with excellent iron armor?

In the past, they were defeated by the Jurchens and did not dare to compete with them because the Jurchens' elite armored cavalry had heavy armor and were invincible in charge.

"I heard that the Han Dynasty now has 72 military towns, 36 naval fleets, and each military town and fleet is organized with 30,000 people. This is a total of 100,000. Wouldn't the Han Empire support more than 3 million troops?" Babu was still a little difficult to calm down when he thought of this.

"It is impossible to cost more than three million, more than three million, how much is that? Even the powerful tribes of our Mongolian tribes have 30,000 cavalry. They can already dominate the country. If there are 300,000, they can sweep the grassland, three million, and I can't imagine."

Nolbudeji of Zasaktu Khan's tribe also nodded. "There is definitely not three million, but there is definitely one million. I heard that the Han army now has more than 200,000 fighting against the Southern Barbarians in the southwest. There are also many elite troops in the capital, many troops in Liaodong and northern borders, and there are definitely many troops in the Central Plains, and there are definitely millions."

One million soldiers. Only the Central Plains Empire can have so many soldiers. If it is this number, it makes Babu Santaiji feel full of awe.

The 72 towns and 36th Navy fleets they found out about were not wrong. But what they didn't understand was that the 72 towns of the 6th Army included both active and reserve troops. Among them, there were reorganizations, shortages and scaffolding troops, and the difference between mobilization troops, and the reserve troops.

Therefore, although the Ministry of War organized the 6th Army into a huge scale of 72 military towns, in fact, many of them were reserves, and many mobilized troops and cliques. There was only one association or even one target, and some even only had basic officers.

However, even the officials of the Han Dynasty were difficult to understand these things. How many troops did the Han Dynasty have, how to organize them, and where to station them were all the highest military secrets of the empire. Anyone who tried to spy would end up miserably.

"This Han Dynasty's capital is so prosperous. There are people everywhere, and you have to run around the city for a long time."

The three Taiji people came to the Central Plains for the first time from Mobei. They were deeply shocked by the wealth and prosperity of the imperial capital. They were therefore full of awe for the Han Yue.

A capital city has a population of one million, and there are several towns of troops stationed around the capital capital alone, with hundreds of thousands of people. Especially when seeing the Han Dynasty's imperial guards, the army was neatly decorated and fully equipped, not to mention the muskets that almost everyone had.

It is the cannons scattered on the top of the capital city, which are thicker than human bodies. It is said that they are city defense cannons, with one cannon weighing seven or eight thousand kilograms and can hit several miles apart.

"After this alliance, we will build a castle in the north of the desert, build artillery on it, musketeers stationed in the castle, build such Han people's houses, and build shops to let Han people trade and trade."

"Yes, I have to collect taxes. I heard that the Han Emperor collects as many as billions of taxes in a year."

"How much is 100 million?" Babu had no idea about 100 million and asked.

"One million means ten million."

"One hundred million is ten thousand? Still billions, isn't that hundreds of thousands? Is it hundreds of thousands of thousands of coins?" Babu has also been exposed to the currency of the Han Dynasty these days. He can buy all kinds of things with a piece of paper, which is extremely convenient. Even the silver coins are quite exquisite. A silver dollar also has a portrait of the Han emperor, and there are many patterns on the front and back. The lowest value is copper coins. A boy can drink a bowl of big bowls of tea. A big boy can use five cents to buy two steamed buns.

"It's not copper coins, it's silver dollars. I heard that the tax revenue of the Han Dynasty in the first half of this year reached more than one billion silver dollars."

Babu was so shocked that he couldn't speak. More than one billion silver dollars, what does that mean?

A young Jurchen prisoner was worth ten silver dollars, and a young Jurchen prisoner was worth five silver dollars.

More than one billion silver dollars can't be able to acquire more than one hundred million Jurchen prisoners? More than one hundred million, more than one hundred thousand and ten thousand. How many Jurchens are there? I remember that there seemed to be several million in the past, but now there seems to be only two or three million left.

Babu slapped him in the leg, "Oh my God, the tax collected by the Han Emperor in a year will only cost 20 to 30 million silver dollars?"

Two or three million, ten or three million, ten or three million, ten or three million, only two or three million, and hundreds of two or three million, only two or three billion. When Babu calculated the account in his heart, he found that the Jurchens were all captured and they bought them all, which would only cost one or two percent of their tax revenue a year.

In Babu's heart, the Han Empire suddenly became infinitely tall and unsatisfactory!

But Nolbutaiji thought that no matter how many Mongols and Qing Jurchens they caught, the great men could afford it and could easily pay.

At this moment, in Noorbutaiji's heart, the Korqin Mongols and the Qing Jurchens had all become moving pieces of shiny silver and bright big man Liu Datou. (To be continued.)
